I've been using my PC for over 1.5 years without issues, but today it started acting up. I noticed it was running really slow, so I checked the temperatures and my CPU was at a staggering 95°C. Shortly after that, it completely shut down with no warning. I thought it might just be dust, so I cleaned everything up, but the problem persists. Even when I checked the BIOS, the CPU was still hitting 72°C before it crashed again. The AIO fans are still spinning, but I'm worried about what's happening. Any advice on what to do next? Thanks!

The pump could really be the culprit here. If it’s not pushing the coolant like it should, your CPU will overheat quickly. Just make sure you're monitoring temps closely if you turn it back on, to avoid any further damage. I've seen situations where just reconnecting the pump helped, so give that a shot!
Definitely check your AIO pump! If it’s dead, it won't be circulating coolant properly, leading to overheating. Also, check for any leaks around the cooler, as that could mean coolant loss. If you’re tight on cash, I’d recommend feeling the pump first to see if it’s working before rushing into a replacement.
It sounds like your AIO cooler might have a problem, possibly with the pump failing. If you can't feel any coolant flow through the tubes, that's a solid sign it’s not working right. Just be careful turning your PC back on since the high temps could keep damaging the CPU. You might want to test the pump by feeling for vibrations or temperature changes along the tubes before making any replacements.
